Chapter 2508: Repenting Like He Was in a Labor Reform Program
This could only mean that the disaster loomed only over the Luo family.
Ning Shu was more puzzled about why the beauty take down system didn’t repair Luo Jiang’s little brother, yet also didn’t detach from him. What was it doing?
If the system helped Luo Jiang fix his little brother, Luo Jiang wouldn’t be obediently doing chores, repenting like he was in a labor reform program.
He’d definitely be picking up girls and ‘working on his career’.
Wait, repenting!?
Ning Shu suddenly had a lightbulb moment.
When a person did something wrong, they would either feel guilty and do something to make up for their mistake, or they would refuse to admit it even until they were either forced to or were on their deathbed.
As Ning Shu tied it to Luo Jiang’s mother’s condition, a horrifying realization dawned upon her.
Luo Jiang was going to do something big.
Ning Shu had a vague guess about things. However, she felt that it was too unbelievable to actually happen.
Ning Shu began to observe Luo Jiang whenever she had free time.
Luo Jiang seemed to have really grown up and become sensible.
He worked hard at home every day without complaint and even promised his father that he’d go out and find a job.
The Luo family was experiencing unprecedented harmony. Luo Jiang’s father’s steps now even had a bounce in them.
However, Ning Shu saw that the space between Luo Jiang’s father’s brows was only growing darker. A bit of black smoke was even hovering around his brows area.
By now, the color had turned violet-black. It is a clear indication that there was a bloody disaster coming their way.
Ning Shu inwardly called 2333. “The beauty take down system may detach soon. Are you ready?”
2333’s voice was very weak as he said, “No way it’s detaching yet.”
“Well if I didn’t say that, would you have responded?”
Ning Shu told 2333 about what happened recently, as well as the situation of Luo Jiang’s parents. She asked 2333 what could have happened.
2333 was silent for a while, then said, “This kind of system is also capable of stealing people’s souls.
“If a system wants to detach from its host, some would take the host’s life while at it.”
“It’s possible that Luo Jiang made a deal with the system. Maybe Luo Jiang used his parents’ lives in exchange for getting the system to repair his body.”
Ning Shu: …
It was exactly what she thought.
Was Luo Jiang planning to sacrifice his parents?
Ning Shu deeply felt that human evil truly had no limit.
In order to take a shortcut, Luo Jiang was willing to pay such a hefty price.
If Luo Jiang had worked honestly and lived an upright, ordinary life, this whole thing would not have happened.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If there was, then it must’ve been poisoned.
Who would do anything that wouldn’t give them something in return?
This beauty take down system was like a demon. It aroused people’s inner desires—their desire to have the easy way out, to have a luxurious life, to be able to easily get to the pinnacle of life.
Ning Shu sighed. Luo Jiang’s parents really did have it hard.
They raised their son in the hopes of him taking care of them after they grew old. However, having such a son only made them age more rapidly. Luo Jiang was now even planning to sacrifice their lives and souls for his own sake.
A soul that was taken away by a system would eventually become soul energy. The original soul would be fully scattered and wouldn’t even get a chance to reincarnate.
“Think of a solution,” Ning Shu told 2333. “His parents are innocent.”
Looking at it from a certain way, Ning Shu was also kind of responsible for this.
If it wasn’t for her practically destroying Luo Jiang’s little brother, Luo Jiang wouldn’t have even thought about sacrificing his parents’ souls to repair his little brother.
However, this kind of action was addictive. After the first time was done, there’d certainly be a second time…
This time, it was his parents that he wanted to sacrifice. Next time, it might be his other relatives.
“There’s none,” 2333 said.
“There must be one.”
“There isn’t.”
“There is!”
